The List - 7 Goofy Anime Super Heroes
Not every super hero gets an awesome robot, elemental powers to summon lightning, or can fly through the air due to sheer psychic will. No, some personalities probably aren't suited for the super hero role, but it's thrust upon them anyway, strange powers and all. 2013-05-25

Tenchi Muyo! War on Geminar BD+DVD
This standalone extension of the Tenchi Muyo! franchise does offer significant entertainment value, but in almost every aspect it lacks the energy and enthusiasm necessary to actually be a good series.

The Rose of Versailles Sub.DVD
It is easy to see why The Rose of Versailles is held in such high esteem. Emotional, historical, and beautiful to watch, the show brings the last years of the French monarchy to life in the best anime style.

Dusk maiden of Amnesia Blu-Ray
A high school boy befriends a sexy female ghost in this eclectic mix of comedy, romance, drama, and horror. Its success at all four, combined with inventive artistry and a strong musical score, makes this one of 2012's best anime series.

Hakuōki: A Memory of Snow Flowers DVD 1-2
This six-episode OVA story fills in a time gap in the first series by looking at certain incidents from multiple different angles. Though hardly crucial viewing, fans of the franchise should find this satisfying.

Attack on Titan episodes 1-6
A young man tries to battle back against giant humanoids who feast on humans in this graphic, visceral, and fantastically intense action/horror story. Its great strengths overcome writing and production value inconsistencies.

Pokémon the Movie: Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice Dub.DVD
If this film causes more permanent damage than most Pokémon outings, that's wholly the fault of its main character, Keldeo.

Blood-C BD+DVD
... either one of the most brilliantly shocking horror series ever created, or one of the biggest practical jokes ever played on an anime-viewing audience.

Mikunopolis in Los Angeles Blu-Ray
The lively music, flashy visuals, and digitally-generated performers result in a form of entertainment unlike any other.

Berserk: The Golden Age Arc II: The Battle for Doldrey
On the whole, The Battle for Doldrey is a mixed bag of strengths and weaknesses. While that may be true of most things, there are few places where those lines are so clearly drawn as in this film.

Dragonball Evolution
It's as bad as the fans said it would be. Wait, scratch that - worse.
